Hi all,
Just recently I got a FSH and a Force One. Blade thickness 1/4 ". When I compare the thickness to the older E-Series-Models, also 1/4", those were slightly thicker. Measured in mm, my FSH and FO are 5,5mm, the E-Series were 6,35mm.
I don't think that this makes any problem in use, just the question: Are all the new 1/4"models of that thickness, or have there been Variations?

It's too early in the morning here for math but here goes. 5.5mm = 0.22" +/- which is the nomimal thichness of my Mr. Mofo and 6.35 mm = 0.25". From what I've seen these are relatively standard thickness's in Busse stock. OW! That hurt! I need more coffee.
 
Yes, my FSH is visibly thinner than my 1/4" Ergos. I view this as a plus rather than a negative, as my tastes run to the thinner Busses in general.
 
Yes, I also see the slightly thinner Blades more positive.
I also have to edit the measurments that I made. I took a better measure and found this out: FSH/FO are exactly 6mm incl. coating, the Ergo is 6,5mm incl. coating. So the difference is less than I first thought.
I think there's also the optical influence: A longer blade seems to be thinner than a short one though they are the same thickness.
